What the research says about Andrographis
Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on Andrographis paniculata and andrographolide - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. AOR Andrographis's claim is the statement authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80040811.
Kan Jang eased uncomplicated URI symptoms
Randomized, placebo-controlled pilot and phase III trials found a standardized Andrographis paniculata fixed combination (Kan Jang) reduced the severity of cold-type symptoms in adults with uncomplicated upper-respiratory tract infection.
Human RCTPlacebo-controlled trial in URTI and sinusitis
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study found an Andrographis paniculata extract fixed combination eased symptoms of acute upper-respiratory tract infection, including sinusitis, versus placebo.
Human RCTModern phase III trial in the common cold
A phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a standardized Andrographis paniculata extract (AP-Bio/KalmCold) reported efficacy and safety in adults with uncomplicated common cold.
Human RCTInterferes with T-cell activation in animal models
Laboratory research describes andrographolide interfering with T-cell activation and antibody responses in mice, a proposed mechanistic basis for its immune-modulating reputation.
MechanismModulates cytokine signalling pathways
Cell-based research found andrographolide reduced IL-2 production in T-cells by interfering with NFAT and MAPK signalling pathways involved in immune-cell activation.
MechanismComputational modelling of an inflammatory pathway
A molecular-docking and bioinformatics study modelled andrographolide binding to TNF- and NF-kB-pathway proteins implicated in inflammatory cytokine signalling.
Computational studyClassic pharyngotonsillitis trial
A randomized, double-blind study in adults with pharyngotonsillitis found high-dose Andrographis paniculata comparable to a common fever and sore-throat reliever in easing symptoms by day 3.
Human RCTSymptom scores tracked with a visual analogue scale
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study used visual analogue scale ratings to measure how a standardized Andrographis paniculata extract (SHA-10) affected common-cold symptom prevalence and intensity.
Human RCTA throat spray formulation, tested directly
A randomized controlled trial found an Andrographis paniculata spray eased acute pharyngitis (sore throat) symptoms in adults.
Human RCTMapping how the body processes andrographolide
A pharmacology review summarized the disposition kinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism) and dosing considerations for oral Andrographis paniculata extracts.
ReviewImproving absorption with delivery-system research
An in vivo pharmacokinetic and toxicity evaluation studied a self-microemulsifying delivery system designed to improve the oral bioavailability of Andrographis paniculata extract.
Animal studyHuman pharmacokinetic data in clinical patients
A clinical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study characterized dosing and safety of standardized Andrographis paniculata capsules in adult patients.
Human studyTargets a key inflammatory signalling axis
Laboratory research found andrographolide acted on the Ptges3-Hsp90-NF-kB signalling axis, a pathway involved in chronic inflammatory processes.
MechanismActs through the PI3K-Akt pathway
Animal research linked andrographolide to reduced inflammatory signalling via activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway.
MechanismBlocks two inflammatory signalling cascades
In an animal model, andrographolide's anti-inflammatory action was linked to inhibition of the TLR4/NF-kB and TGF-beta1/Smad2 signalling pathways.
MechanismA comprehensive look at safety data
A review compiled the pharmacological effects and safety profile of Andrographis paniculata reported across the research literature.
ReviewReproductive safety studied in animal research
A study in male rats examined andrographis's effects on reproductive parameters, part of the evidence behind the conservative caution for those trying to conceive.
Animal studyTolerated in a controlled human trial
A randomized controlled trial of Andrographis paniculata extract in adults with hypertriglyceridemia reported on its safety and tolerability over the study period, alongside effects on triglyceride levels.
Human RCTHead-to-head against an antiviral medication
A randomized study compared Kan Jang (an Andrographis paniculata fixed combination) with amantadine, an antiviral medication, in the treatment of influenza.
Human RCTCompared against two well-known adaptogenic herbs
A phase I clinical study compared Kan Jang against ginseng and valerian, two widely used medicinal herbs, assessing safety parameters in healthy male subjects.
Human studyPlacebo-controlled in a modern respiratory illness
A randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed Kan Jang in patients with mild COVID-19, a modern test of the same traditional respiratory-support combination.
